Leadership Circle

The Strength Series is looking for men who are willing to encourage and support other men in an unpaid volunteer role as we all work through the challenges of life. Apply for The Strength Series’ “Leadership Circle” to help us build and sustain this new initiative. New leaders will be accepted every few months.

Required Time Commitment: Approximately 6-7 hours per month

Responsibilities: Attend 2nd Monday sessions, plus one additional meeting to help plan activities. Co-lead one age-categorized subgroup on 2nd Mondays. Keep an ear to the ground for workshop topics to present, speakers to invite, and to know what’s in the mind of participants. Serve as one of the “faces” of The Strength Series. Report to Bread for the City’s Volunteer & In-Kind Manager. Set a positive example.

Apply for the Leadership Circle

Sessions for The Strength Series take place during what is normally a dinner hour for many. For that reason, Bread for the City strives to offer beverages and appetizers to participants. Individuals are invited to donate healthy, nonperishable food items in their original packaging. Restaurants and other groups are also invited to provide dinner for program participants. Please contact the Volunteer & In-Kind Manager to express interest and make arrangements.
